"mounted it"? Hopefully not literally.....
Are you trying to use DosBox with this game? MYST isn't a DOS game, you must play the Windows 3.1 version of DosBox (heh...Windows 3.1 ver of DosBox! I WISH!, I meant Windows 3.1 ver of MYST) in Windows. (I'm not gonna mention Myst running under Windows 3.1 under DosBox because it would run hella slow if it ran at all).
ok D:\ -t cdrom -usecd 1 -ioctl
OK OK - So you mounted the CD using DOSBox, but the line is lacking some parameters. It should read:
mount d d:\ -t cdrom -ioctl -usecd 1
Afterwards, change to the newly mounted D drive
Z:\>D:
D:\>dir
Look for an install.bat / install.exe / setup.bat / setup.exe or the like.
D:\>INSTALL
You will probably get a message saying "This program requires Microsoft Windows" If so, forget about DOSBox for now and keep reading...
I am guessing the response, but here it goes the question anyway....
lilmiznawty - Do you know by chance how to MAKE PARTITIONS?
Mind you, DOSBox is 0NLY intended for running MS-DOS applications ONLY so far, so if Myst is a Windows 3.1 / 3.11 you are out of luck. You need to install the real Windows 3.x in your computer.
Just because you have Windows XP currently, you will need to create a separate MS-DOS FAT16 partition and install MS-DOS 6.22 + Windows 3.11 in there (in this order).
